I’m having this problem in ST4 v4169. It only happens when I type “default”.

Is there a way to fix this?

Appears it is recognized as default keyword of a switch-case statement by indentation rules and thus automatically unindented.

		<key>decreaseIndentPattern</key>
		<string><![CDATA[(?x)
			# line beginning with whitespace or block comments
			^ (.*\*/)? \s*
			(?:
			# dedent closing braces
			  \}
			# detent `case ... :`
			| case\b
			# detent `default:`
			| default\b
			)
		]]></string>


		<key>increaseIndentPattern</key>
		<string><![CDATA[(?x)
			# line beginning with whitespace or block comments
			^ (.*\*/)? \s*
			(?:
			# indent after opening braces (may be followed by whitespace or comments)
			# but exclude lines such as `extern "C" {`

Maybe it could be fixed by moving case and default to a dedicated ruleset which only applies on meta.switch meta.block.

Interesting, that default is not a global keyword.

I thought it’s just a simple remove-this-and-voila solution. Guess I just have to hope for an update

Is there a way to do that in the settings?

Not via settings, but you could override the file by extracting it and placing it to Packages/JavaScript/ folder. OverrideAudit package may assist you with that.

@deathaxe I installed it. What should I do next? I’m sorry, I’m not familiar with this so I’m running in blind.

Thank you!
